For Better And For Worse
Chapter 113

Abandoned slaughterhouse.

Commander Léon and Boris as well as Lieutenant John and Inspector Kevin bring Rom and Roc to the old slaughterhouse as they should bring the commander’s family there. Once there, Kevin and John hide the two vehicles and return on foot. Commander Léon ties his wife and daughter against two pottos then he and Commander Boris wear hoods and wait.

Leon: bring Rom!

John brings him and Léon forces him to call Corneille by putting it on the loudspeaker.

Cornelius: Hello!

Rom: We have the commander’s family!

Corneille: excellent, and him?

Rom: he got out when his family was kidnapped.

Cornelius: great! I will send you his contact information. Kill his wife and daughter then call him and give him the address of the slaughterhouse.

Léon: say that you are not assassins.

Rom: What, we are not assassins.

Corneille: there is a beginning to everything.

Rom: No, I can’t take someone’s life.

Cornelius: Do it and I’ll give you a million each.

Rom: no sorry but I will have to release them.

Cornelius: Don’t do that. Leave them and I will come and take care of them personally.

Rom: very good, we’re leaving.

Corneille: no, wait for me there!

He hangs up. Leon tells John to bring Rom back. He and the commander stay next to his family. Corneille decides to come, Francis follows him discreetly. A little later, he arrives and sees two people tied up and two others wearing balaclavas. He approaches them.

Corneille: wow, you did a very good job. Give me that gun.

Léon hands him the weapon and when he wants to take it. He grabs her hand and twists it to put it on the back. Boris points his gun at him. Léon also grabs his other hand and Boris removes his hood.

Corneille: oh no, damn it!

Léon: Mr. Corneille, you are under arrest for attempted murder and many other crimes associated with your status as a prisoner on the run. He handcuffs him. John and Kevin also come out of hiding with Rom and Roc also handcuffed.

They leave the slaughterhouse and Francis, who was on the sidelines, observed the scene before leaving. John and Kevin go to get the cars and bring the suspects to the squad. They lock Rom and Roc up so that they spend one night before being released. As for Léon, he brings his family home, reassuring them that they have nothing to fear anymore.

Léon: thank you for always staying by my side despite all his traumatic ordeals.

Delphine: It’s normal. I understood my darling. Marriage is not always rosy, it is also thorny so in the best or in the worst, I will always be by your side. I will never leave you again for any problem.

Léon: I am very happy to hear that.

Delphine: you will be even happier when you hear this news.

Léon: what news?

Delphine: Gloria is going to have a little brother.

Léon: what, are you pregnant?

Delphine: yes.

Leon: oh my God, thank you, thank you very much darling.

They k**s very hard.

Séverin’s home.

Séverin calls Bruno that night regarding their collaboration affair.

Bruno: hello son-in-law!

Séverin: good evening Mr Bruno. I am calling to inform you that the divorce will be finalized tomorrow.

Bruno: I’m sorry it’s come to this!

Séverin: yes, me too. Therefore, I would like our agreement to be repealed tomorrow from 08:30.

Bruno: okay, no problem.

Séverin: thank you.

Gauthier warehouse.

After sharing the drugs with the men to deal, Francis calls Gauthier. Bruno leaves the living room to answer.

Bruno: Francis, you can’t manage this little merchandise alone? Why do you always have to call me?

Francis: I can manage it very well on my own, you know me.

Bruno: so what?

Francis: I’m just calling to tell you that Corneille has just been arrested, again.

Bruno: what, how?

Francis: Commander Léon was smarter than him.

Bruno: holy shit!

He hangs up and goes back inside.

Bruno’s home.

Krist goes to Bruno’s home again that night, hoping that he will go to his secret home. But even if that’s not the case, he has a plan B that will force him out. But fortunately for him, after his call with Francis, Bruno speaks to his wife.

Bruno: darling…

Florence: go ahead! I can’t stop you from doing what you’re doing so go for it!

Bruno: everything will get better soon, I promise you.

Florence: don’t make me a promise because you won’t be able to keep it.

Bruno: I’m sorry.

Bruno goes to his car and gets out. The guard informs Krist. He sees him and follows him. When he realized that he had gone to his secret home, he stayed far away. Bruno changes into Gauthier without spotting the cameras and goes to replace Francis. Krist follows him to his warehouse where he stores his drugs.

Gauthier warehouse.

Arriving at the warehouse, Krist stops a little far away. He sees Gauthier entering the warehouse. Krist walks forward and wanted to go closer but he thinks that he might have surveillance cameras so he returns to his motorcycle and goes home. Meanwhile, Gauthier was chatting with Francis.

Gauthier: explain to me how we stopped him?

Francis: we were here together around 6 p.m. and he was going out. I asked him where he was going and he told me he was going to settle a matter. So I followed him discreetly to the abandoned slaughterhouse. He went in and I stayed away. Shortly after, he came out handcuffed by Commander Léon accompanied by Boris and two other agents who were also holding two guys handcuffed. So I deduced that he hired two guys to kidnap Léon’s family to kill them in this slaughterhouse but the guys got caught and Léon used them to set a trap for him.

Léon: what, are you pregnant?

Delphine: yes.

Gauthier: holy shit, Corneille! Because of damn revenge! Oh shit. Now he’s completely screwed. The prison director was arrested so there is no one to help him now. You’re going to have to manage the merchandise on your own.

Francis: don’t worry, it’s in good hands. However, there are few left and for several days I have not been able to contact Gordjo.

Gauthier: I fear he will be unreachable for a long time.

Francis: what do you mean?

Gauthier: he was arrested by the cell fighting the drug cartel. I called him and it was the cell director who answered.

Francis: holy shit, what about Krist?

Gauthier: how’s that Krist?

Francis: Krist was with Gordjo, he worked for him…

Gauthier: what, didn’t Krist die in prison?

Francis: no, the prison director sold him to Gordjo that day!

Gauthier: Holy shit. So he lied to me and said he was dead. This Krist will never leave my life or my family or something? So the guy I see isn’t his ghost, but how does he disappear?

Francis: Do you see it?

Gauthier: yes, but he appears and disappears like a ghost.

Francis: that means he betrayed Gordjo because one day, Gordjo told me that he worked for him. Do you think Gordjo told him your secret?

Gauthier: no, if he knew, he would have already denounced me. No, he would go to my house and smash my head in.

Francis: It’s true. But you have to be careful.

Gauthier: yes. What calms me down is that I won’t have to be afraid anymore when I see him again.

Francis bursts out laughing.

Gauthier: What’s so funny?

Francis: are you afraid of ghosts? No, but let me laugh yes. How come for a guy who does night business to be afraid of ghosts?

Gauthier: Well, I have to go back to my wife. You take care of everything. There is nothing more we can do for Corneille.

Francis: count on me.

Gauthier therefore returns to his secret home to change into Bruno in front of the cameras before returning home.

Krist’s home.

Once home, Krist calls Yves.

Yves: hello Krist!

Krist: good evening Yves, how are you?

Yves: I’m fine, thank you.

Krist: ok. I need you tomorrow at 6:00. Gauthier went to his secret home today so I need to get the videos.

Yves: okay, I’ll be there.

Krist: thank you Yves.

Stella arrives just as he thanks him.

Stella: was it Yves?

Krist: Yes. It all ends tomorrow Stella, my wife, the drug dealer, it all ends tomorrow.

Stella: wow, I’m so happy to hear that.

She falls into his arms.
